Frome Half Marathon to close roads

The Frome Half Marathon will come through Nunney on Sunday 16 July, with roads closed to all traffic through the centre and around the village.Frome Half Marathon is one of the biggest sporting events in the local area. As well as the half marathon, participants can take part in 5 km and 10 km runs.

The route of the half marathon goes from Frome past the golf course on to Church Street, across the bridge and up Castle Hill towards Whatley.

Only the Half Marathon route takes runners through Nunney; the 5k and 10k runners remain in Frome.

A full list of all road closures and timings is available on the event’s website.

The road closures will officially be in place between 10.00am and noon on this section of the course. However, the stewards may need to close the roads earlier or later and this it entirely their decision.

Unfortunately, in previous years some motorists have ignored the clearly marked road closures and instructions from stewards, leading to potentially very dangerous situations and even cancellation of future events.

Please be a good sport and cooperate with the organisers of the Frome Half Marathon.
